• Does anyone actually 'need' Google? I find Google's problems only to be problems for Google addicts. If you don't like Google, simply don't use it. In reply to: "CNET News Daily Podcast: Is Google too big for the Web's good?"

• One terabyte a month would be reasonable, for now, per account. They seen to disregard that there may be multiple users per household - 250 gigabytes per user of an account would be reasonable, or again, one terabyte a month per account. As far as a over-usage penalty, only allow each account to go over 10 gigabytes, with several warnings before service is suspended. There will a be an extra $10.00 charge for over use, but the user will not be suspended services for an entire year, that's insane, especially if Comcast is the only area provider. Comcast should not be able to provide 'limited' service where there are no other broadband choices for internet access. If Comcast is the only provider to an area, users aren't given any options and that isn't acceptable. If Comcast is the only broadband provider for a specific area, then that area cannot be limited in data usage. In reply to: "More tidbits on the new Comcast cap (updated)"

• Time Warner Cable and other idiot companies who don't even comprehend the Internet and only see dollar signs with everything that they examine, will lose their shirts if they attempt this completely stupid move. There are so many other providers that 'will' give the users what they want, that Time Warner will be washed out to sea and drown in their own usury schemes. In a time where MORE bandwidth is desired, required and necessary TWC seeks to limit usage, cut bandwidth and hike up the prices...doesn't anyone see something absolutely insane with this picture? If the goal is to alienate and lose customers and chase new ones away, then this is the perfect plan for instant bankruptcy. In reply to: "Why you should be disgusted with Time Warner Cable"

• Who Cares
  When Microsoft comes up with a new operating system that beats XP in every possible way, I may, MAY be interested in possibly, POSSIBLY, purchasing a new computer with that loaded on it.
  
  Stop pushing Vista on me, I don't want it, don't like it, and won't, WON'T be buying it. Now go away before I decide not buy any Microsoft products in the future. I mean by now Japan or some other technologically advanced society is going to be releasing an operating system. If Ford (microsoft) keeps disrespecting me, I'm going to go buy Toyota (other OS). Comprehend me? In reply to: "Microsoft will extend life of Windows XP--again"

• It is legal...
  It is legal to run an ISP this way, but it must be clearly said/stated BEFORE taking on a new user/customer what types of internet usage may be blocked or throttled. For previous users that signed up and were not made aware of blocking or throttling, their internet experience may not be tampered with by Comcast. No Comcast you can't bury your intentions in the 'fine print' you must state in big bold letters before a user signs up that your service practices blocking and throttling of P2P and other particular types of internet activity. In reality there is no such thing as 'excessive traffic'. What Comcast considers excessive other ISP's consider normal. The world is moving toward faster and constant internet connections, most ISP's are already accommodating this usage. There is no stopping P2P usage, especially with common Television now available on the Internet. Comcast - you are either in or out, with us or against us; make a choice, stand by it, or get out of the way and let 'real' service providers provide real services.

• Dead and Rotting
  The Romantics were a crummy band with two okay songs, the rest was rubbish. IMNTBHO, I thought everything they came up with was garbage. I really believed these guys were dead by now.
  
  Romantics - Do our song on Guitar Hero!!! :)
  Romantics - Oh no, it's too good :(
  Romantics - We gonna sue your ***** >:(
  
  Dear Romantics, please return to your graves and continue rotting. In reply to: "What The Romantics don't like about 'Guitar Hero'"
